First time momma and I just gave birth 6/24. I’m so happy I found your videos. Your breathing exercises helped me get through labor. Woke up at 5am with contractions, When I arrived at the hospital at 8am i was already 8-9cm dilated. Once in the room i was at 10cm and its time to push! Baby girl arrived at 8:57. Everyone told me they rarely see a fast delivery for a first time mom. I just kept breathing through the contractions, and when pushing I told myself im getting closer to my baby, thank you!
did you purchase the online course or just use the free youtube videos? I`m on a budget and don`t know if the payed course is just something extra, or if it`s really worth investing into
happy early 3rd birthday to baby girl!♥️
I just wanted to share a tiny bit about my first delivery 36 years ago. I did manage to dilate to around 5 by the time I was on the bed in hospital, and I had a midwife to assist me. My 1st birth was 5 hours from my water breaking to the actual birth, my 2nd birth was 1 hour 40 minutes, beginning with contractions and some bleeding, and my 3rd was 3 hours after losing the mucous plug.
Obviously I had riveting pain like most women, and I used this kind of a thought process and vision each time I had a contraction, which made the contractions work for me more efficiently. I envisioned my cervix opening up a little bit more with each contraction, and almost having appreciation for myself and what I was doing. In actuality that’s exactly what’s happening and going on, and by concentrating on that inner vision I was very much in control. And truthfully, it was the only way to get out of that pain, bcuz it made me angry. That probably sounds funny, but that’s how I felt. I have to say that with my 3rd birth, I really wanted some way out of it, and was even hesitant to walk out to the car. And after maybe 10 minutes, knowing that I needed to get on with it, I was off to get it done and over with.
It’s been fun reading others comments, we all are magnificent beings to be able to have live births and live to tell about them♥️! Good luck to all of you. Now raising them is another long and huge undertaking that came with some much bigger headaches than what we all were probably planning on, but we’re all still amazing!
My labor went by so fast! I guess early labor started Friday 11/15 after my doctor's appt. (she had checked my cervix. I was 50% effaced and 0 dialated at that time). Mild back pains continued the next day. But come 11/17 (this past Sunday), back labor pains REALLY picked up and I honestly thought I was still in early labor. But things progressed so fast. The only way to bear through my pains were pacing around. I also took two baths and two showers. I realized I was in active labor when the bath wasn't "slowing things down." So, I told my fiance that he should start packing his hospital bag. He had to do a few things before we decided we should probably go in to L&D. I did more pacing. When we arrived, I half expecting to be sent home, but to our surprise, I was already 7cm dialated! My plan was to go unmedicated. They still offered the epidural and/or IV Meds. I declined. I did however, use the nitrous oxide, but only 3 brief inhales 3 times. It didn't get rid of the pain but it did make the contractions SEEM shorter. Shortly after we learned I was 7cm (probably 30mins later), the contractions got super intense to the point that pacing no longer helped but embracing my fiance with him applying pressure on my low back did. Real soon after those began, I told the nurses that I "feel pushy." It was go time! My fiance said I pushed for only 45 mins. I did opt in for a mirror. I nearly asked to change pushing positions because my legs were cramping from having to spread them open, but when I saw that the doctor had a good grip of my baby's head, I was like, "okay, I'm ready." Three or 4 more good pushes and my little man was born.
I wanted to say thank you for your videos. The breathing techniques and all other information you provided helped tremendously! I am so happy with my experience and super proud of myself! I remained calm throughout the whole thing which helped the process go along nice and smooth!
I’m due September 16th 2023 and you saying “ hey momma “ just makes me feel so comfortable 💕 I’m actually going to give birth in Davis I know you say your in the Sf Bay Area, and you seem like such a gem! I’ve been watching your video to prep for a water birth 🙏
Oh my gosh I’m due September 15th 😂
I had the best birth.. Literally didnt feel anything.. i just had my son 3 weeks ago and i legit pushed him out so fast like it was an such an empowering experience
how did u prepare for such a smooth delivery? can u please share 😃
@@izzateesafia7854 well i wanted to have a natural birth but my son was two weeks late and i was ready for him to just come out finally. But they induced me and 5 hours went by and i couldnt relle handle my contractions, so i asked for the epidural. Knowing for future knowledge that me being numb down there was a very good idea just incase i ripped. The key to a good birth is letting ur body do the work and pushing with every contraction. Good nurses midwives etc. I had my sons godmother in the room with me so limit the ppl. But also the urge to finally meet and love the person you spent 9 months making is also a good motivation
@@yurijones6372 great to know! Thanks for the motivation on yr final sentence there😃
that's how mine was, it was super painful but the second I started pushing all the pain was gone. didnt even get the ring of fire
so glad I didn't get the epidural:)
I’m become obsessed with your videos. This is baby number 3 and really want to do natural. Your videos are so informative!
YAY! I believe you can have the birth you desire with education and great support on your side :) Let me know if you have any questions I can help answer!
Same here! I would like to go natural on my 3 but I am soooo scared!
There are a lot of VBAC2C support groups on Facebook
This described my transition exactly down to a T. The "I can't do this" and the hot/ cold flashes/shivering all happened. My water breaking at home, while reading natural birth stories in bed, to meeting baby at the hospital was just under 7 hours. I used hypnobirthing techniques and it was completely unmedicated- no IV and no continuous fetal monitoring.
Thank you loads!!! Because of your video’s I had the easiest birth and it went quick!! First child, 5 h labor and 16 minutes of pushing later, my daughter was born!
All your tips and tricks helped me a lot!! 🧡🧡🧡
WOW! This is so incredible! Congratulations, mama!
Can you summarise the tips here please❤️
@@mtac1968 i actually just looked at all her video’s and did whatever she said! the breathing techniques and some relaxing music in the background. I focused more on the breaks rather than the contractions.. ❤️
Everybody talks about your breathing technique. Well, I would like to let you know that I am very thankful that I bumped into your videos and learnt your breathing technique. My labour process went fast and easy when I can control the pain and deal with it. It helps my cervix dilated easily too. I didn't get to learn how to push properly from you yet but hey you helped me major in the process already.
I’m due in about 4 weeks or so and I’m so scared but you’re so calming! Definitely binge watching alll of your videos😂❤️😅
Xavion’s Momma I’m due in 4 weeks as well 😬 good luck ! Lol
dcoke89 you too girl!! I hope we both have healthy deliveries and babies❤️
Same here! Eeek! Very excited!
How did it go!??? I’m due in 4 weeks .
Kind of sad because I can barely remember anything from my last natural birth. I guess I kept my eyes closed most of the time. It was kind of an out of body experience.
I totally understand that... had my eyes closed most of my birth too. I'm grateful though that even when I wasn't totally aware of everything, my body was doing exactly what it needed to!
Im at 36 weeks. I feel more prepared than i did with my first baby. I was traumatized by labor in the hospital that i didn't want more kids, here we go seven years later. Im happy i waited, it feels like my first time except now i know what to expect and what i want.
I just stumbled across your channel and I must say thank you! These videos that I have been watching have been SUPER informative to me! This is my first baby and I want to try with everything I have to have a drug free birth, so thank you for being informative and giving such great advice for me! ❤️
You totally got this, mama!
You DO NOT HAVE TO PUSH INTO THE RING OF FIRE. That is your body’s way of telling you it needs a couple more seconds to stretch a bit and loosen and then the baby can move down further !
Would like to know more about this
Jessica Anderson your body will push the baby out in the end, it will in all likelihood still be uncomfortable, but you should not rush to push- give your body some time to stretch.
Look up Ina May Gaskin - she explains well. The Matriarch Of modern midwifery
@@elcapitanmorgan556 thank u! I had seen a video where a girl had a terrible 1st baby. She pushed when told and tore horribly. Her second birth she pushed when she felt ready and didnt tear.
Jessica Anderson do you remember what the video is called
@@mycupcake61 I dont remember I'm sorry. I've seriously seen so many videos in the past few months just trying to prepare myself.
This is my first natural birth and I'm watching your videos to get ready. I hope I can get through it. 🙏
I just found your videos the day before I went into labor. Your breathing techniques helped me birth all natural. I arrived at the hospital dilated to a 9. Most of it was at home! Thank you so much for these videos. First birth was medicated and I did this one all by myself 💕✨
Woo hoo, Mama!! You're so amazing! I'm glad you made it to the hospital on time!
I'm planning to have most my labor at home using Bridget breathing techniques. First baby how exciting.😊
@@meliamedaverman3558 best wishes ✨ it’s not easy to remember how to breathe like this in the heat of the moment but it’s a game changer! Congrats
My first labor was medicated. Hoping for the second to be unmedicated and all natural! Wish me luck!!!
@@BridgetTeyler I have story for u for my experience that is my vibe tribe not is going well
I learned a lot from your videos 2 years ago. And here I am again on my second baby at 40weeks pregnant been watching your videos again to review and so I will remember when time comes. I hope to have another beautiful unmedicated birth🙏🥰
I remember saying I can’t or don’t want to do this and everyone gave each other a look and I felt so guilty for saying that! But now I see the look was probably more like them acknowledging that this was it.
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU🩷 I can't thank you enough for making this labor & birth series! I watched all of them for my daughter & now I am rewatching them again for baby #2. You help me feel so empowered for the birth process! I recommend your channel to every new mom that I know x
This is both terrifying and helpful for me. My baby isn't due for another 5 months but trying so hard to prepare!
In the country I am in epidurals are often not an option and my hospital doesn't do them so I have no choice but a natural birth!
I’m not even pregnant... I’m just here for research before I get🤰🏾
same here, lol
This is one of the best channel to understand things in the most informative and clear manner! Good for you🎉
Thank you so much !!! We are having our first child in November and this 3 part serious has been so helpful to help educate myself and my husband. 🥰🥰🙏🏽🙏🏽🤰🏽👶🏽
Also has always been a goal for myself to go natural , as long as it’s possible and safe to do so. I know we can all go in with plans and things can go so many ways but I’m sticking to positivity and speaking a natural birth into existence
Getting so excited for our natural birth at a Birth Center for baby number 2. This is helpful!!!
I wish people wouldn’t skip over the birth of the placenta. Delivering the placenta can have its struggles and it can still be important to breathe and be supported during that time. The midwives will most likely push down on your uterus to help it contract (and that can be uncomfortable). Just focus on your baby and breathe. If you’re at risk of hemorrhage or anemic, they may have to pull the placenta out manually. Ask your midwife about this. It’s nothing to be afraid of at all, just a heads up to not skip through mental preparation or making sure you have support when birthing the placenta. 😊
Watched this and commenting again! So so helpful to refresh.
I’m a little over 5 months and I’m due in February. I’m planning to go all natural and I’m so scared. Good luck to all the mamas
How many weeks are you? I'm 29 weeks & due 2/7/21.
@@MrsBryant1024 Today I’m 26 weeks and 6 days ❤️✨ I wish you a safe and amazing mama 😊
I do have one question, I’m delivering twins. How is the process when the second one comes out? It it much easier then the first since your body has already pushed out the firSt? As well when do placentas come out if they’re seperate?
Thank you very much for all the informations !!i’ve been watching your videos until the last day. I gave birth on 12/12/2020 with minimum tearing due the ring of fire info! I love my birth experience and i’m very happy about it thank you for sharing your knowledge on this platform!
This was so helpful, due in 12 days and so nervous 😩
Was it scary how we all think?
ROYAL G no i actually had really smooth experience, was only in labor for 9 hours and my baby came out in 6 pushes 🙏🏽
@@jaleysart4657 awwww !!! So happy to hear it went well for you.
Whoops I'm 39 weeks and 6 days but I'm thankful for this videos ❤
I’m 33 weeks pregnant, expecting my first and I am terrified!!!
I’m currently 15 weeks as of today! I’m also expecting my first baby, I am not looking forward to labor
@@jazmingonzalez78 labor was the first thing I thought of when I found out I was pregnant! It really terrifies me!
Jenny Solis 👏 I have just gone 33 weeks and feel very similar to how you did. Really hoping it went well for you in the end!
Same girl, currently 17 w pregnant. How did it go? Hope you and baby are safe ❤️
@@JamieJohansson it was hard! My baby didn't want to come out and I almost had an emergency c section! I ended up having a vacuum assisted delivery! He was healthy tho
It f****** HURTS!!
This is an excellent and helpful video. Thanks so much!
I didnt get ring of fire until after baby came out, like he came out and my whole coochie felt like it was on fire& them the nurse put a ice pack on my cooch & i was like ooohhhhh myyyy godddd yessssss lol
Thank you for the best summary regarding the 3 stages of labour. So much clearer now. God bless you hon. Xox
I go in tomo for my induction! Eeeeekkk plan on re-watching you videos during the first 12ish hours before the pitocin
With my last birth I woke up in the middle of the night with pressure feeling like I had to "poop".
I did not have to :) I timed a few contractions, determined I should probably go to the hospital and arrived in triage at 8 cm. It was go time when I got rushed to the delivery room. I remember asking the triage nurse if I could still get an epidural. Hah!
Thank you so much for being so candid! Thank goodness I found you. I'm 38w+6d with my first child, and I've been freaking out(still am, lol), but I'm feeling much better knowing what I should more or less expect.
I had that peaceful moment with my third and I was SO worried everything was just starting all over again! 😂
2nd baby but I’m terrified tbh. I’m doing a TOLAC… I’m still scared about the pain and the just everything. But I’m going to try harder for myself.
Thank you for sharing! It gives me courage when I listen to you during this fragile time of my life. I recently hired a birth doula I’m 28 weeks pregnant. This is my first pregnancy. Do you have any suggestions for me in terms of preparing for a successful delivery? And what can I ask of her that will help?
Watch as many natural homebirth video stories as you can! It will gove you what REAL childbirth is like and prepare you so you can do it on your own. Every story is different. Every birth is different too. Practice affirmations and really believe you can do this. You are made for this. Water definitely helps with softening tissues, keeping hydrated and birthing!
Went from a 6 with irregular contractions to baby in an hour. When ring of fire happened, they started screaming in my face to push, push now, etc. Then they artificially ruptured my membranes without warning or consent. Because what I needed was to accelerate my labor 😐
So sad. Not ok.
Very helpful but I’m super scared. The first one is always the hardest they say.
Hi Bridget, I am due to give birth soon and wanted to say thank you for your videos. Now with Covid, it is almost impossible to have any classes. I found your videos informative and has educated me so much on birthing.
My first born is 11 😳 I’m due March 1st I’m soooo nervous. But watching your videos are helping so I can be a little more prepared.
Ps. I don’t remember the ring of fire from the first birth. And it was a natural birth.
When your waiting to push and its the ring of fire feeling, does that feeling fade or do you just wait and then push into it? How do you know when its safe to push?
I'm a couple days late on this video. Still good info. Didnt experience this with the first, but definitely did this time around.
do you have to hire a nurse/midwife to deliver your baby or will you just get any nurse to deliver your baby at the hospital?
I was in so much pain with my two births that I never felt the ring of fire. Hoping to deliver my third in a few days and not have to experience it.
Thank you for this! Birthing my third in about three or so weeks at home♥️
thank you so much for the amazing videos ! . you said that i should resist the urge of pushing during " the ring of fire " but what is the right time to push?
Great question! When women experience the ring of fire the most common reaction is to push less, but your body is going to do a lot of the pushing all on it's own at that point. So either way your body is going to be doing the work. It's really difficult to resist the urge to push by the end, so when you're feeling like you need to push, go for it!
@@BridgetTeyler thanks a lot for your answer ❤
I’m almost crying watching this video because I had such an intense urge to push but because I was only 8.5cm dilated I was not allowed to push. Resisting the urge was way to hard, I still have a ptsd from it 2.5 years later. Now I’m getting induced with baby#2 in 10 days and am so nervous about this stage of labor. I will definitely try this breathing technique but is there any other tips you can give on how to resist the urge to push? Thanks for your videos. They are so informative and I’ve been practicing some of your breathing and excerice techniques!!
Oh the ring of 🔥.....will never forget that part of labour lol
*labor
@@markb.9910 depends on the country or version of English.
How can you deal with the pain when you get them on all three places??
First baby here, I really want to do it all
natural..
My mother had 4 children, and had them all without medication. We all weighed about 7-9 lbs, and she said she did it just fine. So maybe genetics are on my side? Idk, but I want to do this naturally
Why is it when people talk about this subject on TH-cam they ALWAYS seem to leave out the torture of the nurses/doctor making sure all blood clots, etc. are out? I had the epidural with mine and it was still so uncomfortable!
You're right! I should mention how uncomfortable that part is! That was almost worse than giving birth for me!
Bridget Teyler
Why do doctors make sure to get all the blood clots?
@@poppyparanormal2189 if fragments of your placenta are left attached, you are at an increased risk of hemorrhaging
@@poppyparanormal2189 They need to make sure that your uterus is healing properly so that you don't hemorrhage.
@@BridgetTeyler How do they do that? Now I'm picturing someone shoving their hand up my vagina the way they do with cows haha
I have not had a baby yet and don’t plan to become pregnant for a couple more years, but I am so excited to become a mom and pregnancy excites me!! I’m also interested in becoming a doula so your account is amazing ❤
The ring of fire happens in pushing phase of labor so are we supposed to do shallow breathing to stop Ring of fire or j-breathing? because according to your breathing video we are suppose to do j-breathing during pushing phase.
I am confused. Please reply.
It depends on the mama! If a woman is experiencing the ring of fire and isn't fully dilated yet, she may want to do shallow breathing to slow down the process of birth to help baby slowly stretch the vaginal tissues. If mama is already dilated, then j breathing will help push baby out even if she is experiencing the ring of fire still.
@@BridgetTeyler thanks for reply. I love your videos. Very informative :)
I remember saying I need to poo and I went to the bathroom and I sat on the toilet and the midwife is knocking on the door can I come in and have a look. I was like no I’m trying to poo it won’t come out. Lol she came in and said it’s not poo it’s your baby - omg . I was 9cm and they though I was still in early labor
I wish I watched this before I gave birth. I had a second, almost third degree tear I think because when I felt the ring of fire I just pushed right through it because I knew the only way to get it to stop was to get him out. Bummer.
😳 I'll take three epidurals please.
Ring of fire!!!! 🔥😫😖😭🔥
Any way of helping shoulders come out?
I’m attempting a VBA2C in December.
My last VBAC attempt was 4 days of labor, 12 hours of pushing (4 at birthing center and 7 at hospital with epidural), the last 9 his head was at the exit point and I only felt the ring of fire once. His head had two severe molding spots and his head was compacted so much they had to do a secondary cut to get him out. I also had traumatic scaring from my first c-section that took about 5 minutes to cut away, which we believe caused his right shoulder to get stuck. I’m seeing a womb care and scar tissue specialist to have all the scar tissue broken apart throughout my pregnancy. So, any tips to shorten labor would be greatly appreciated.
There's a program called one strong mama that might help make sure your body is in good shape, not tight. She has some interesting ideas for creating the most space and optimal positioning for baby
Thank you! I’ll look it up.
I'm scared for the "I cant do this" phase because my biggest plan is to keep telling myself I can do this like "you got this girl" and all that so I feel like If i think i cant I'll end up trying to actually stop 🙃
I'm due in 22 days this is terrifying
Damn)) any advice for those of us expecting twins?:) first time future mom here
Hi, I'm wondering how streching and massage of these areas along with eating date, drinking raspberry leaves tea, applying primrose oil may affect that burning sensation. Last pregnancy I used only massage but without too much streching and I've experienced the ring of fire which ended up with rupture by midwife (she told me my baby wasn't well at this point which is impossible for me to verify) and it actually gave me relief.
Also, I learned that, while on all four, I can lower my chest so that my hips are much higher and that way my baby goes down slower but does that help at that advanced stage of labour when you feel a strong urge to push? I'd love your insight. Thanks!
It is super helpful! Thank you so much!
The ring of fire with my first born was the most intense pain I have ever felt.
It literally felt as if Freddy Krueger dipped his finger knives into hot lava and grabbed my vagina while simultaneously pulling down and stretching my vagina in a raking motion.
My sister told me that I would check out when this happened.
15 hrs of labor.
I had 3 epidural and it didn't work.
I. Felt. Everything...
I wish we could call it something different from the ring of fire
Very informative although here's some constructive criticism. You said the word "like" 33 times. I think only one time was necessary. The 90210, valley girl vibe, (not so professional) is probably NOT the image you want to portray. Other than that, thanks very much, good information, for a man who needs to understand these details and be of the greatest support for my girlfriend and our baby. Cheers!
Im terrified.
I agree so much to ur point that you say you can’t do it until you do it 😂.
I'm expecting my first & feeling anxious about labour
I am not even pregnant. But I am so afraid of labor. Really want to have a baby but yes... To afraid 😟 Can you do some update how are you feeling? 🙏
@@Serpentes100 of course :)
I 100% blacked out around this time. I dont remember about 70% of my labor lol
Bridget, does this mean we shouldn't be doing moo breathing during the ring of fire stage?
I’m always concerned of the placenta mine like to retain and stay in there it needs pulled and coached out one it they manually did it absolutely awful 😢 worse then the birth
It should NEVER be pulled. Breastfeed immediately after delivery to encourage oxycontin and contractions for placental delivery, as well as bleeding much less!
The ring of fire was the worst part of labor!!😩
due in October, this sounds awful! I know I should be excited but the whole description makes me feel 🤢 nothing I can do about it though! lol gonna ride the waves and listen to my doula/body 💓
We're due about the same time! We got this! I keep reminding myself, whether I like it or not, my body will birth this baby... so I may as well let go of control and let my body do what it's gonna do. I'm also setting the intention to look back on my birth and say to myself, "That was easy!" Many women have pain free, enjoyable birth experiences. There's no reason I can't be one of them ❤
I laughed because my contractions started 2 mins apart, lasting 60 seconds, I was in fever and all the hospitals were closed
ring... of... fire.......
Does everyone experience the “ring of fire” sensation?
I'm due the end of march but I'm worried as I'm an extreme needle-phobic who has ehlers danlos syndrome as well. Is it possible for my ehlers to be set off during the birth and my hips to dislocate? (They've dislocated a few times during the pregnancy so far)
Homebirth
Have you ever given birth? Just curious
anna h she literally has a video about it and photo with her baby as a profile.
Cool i never knew i wasnt trying to be rude. Just beyond curious
i want a natural birth so bad but i am terrified of actually feeling myself tear! does this happen? or do you not feel yourself tear?
There's no ring of fire. It's the ring of icy hot. It burns but it's cold.
I thought with epideral you dont feel a thing.
In the ideal dream world, yes. But reality is everyone has different results from the epidural. I’d say the most common experience in talking to people is that it makes you more comfortable by taking the edge off of the contractions. But may still feel the pressure...or upon pushing out the baby you still may feel the ring of fire...but if it’s the route you choose for your pain management I hope it works well for you’
How do you control your anxiety when the ring of fire happens???
No negativity, all love, but if after all that you just described to me I can see how some mom's can totally be burnt when baby comes out. Instead of Euphoria+ "oh my gosh my beautiful baby" it becomes Euphoria+ "oh my gosh get it away from me". I've heard women hold that as a secret thinking it made them a terrible mom when it doesn't at all. For some women going through that experience is traumatic, with some factors like birthing environment, and they just need a moment to recover then meet their new little bundle of love.
Daisy, absolutely. I love my daughter more than life itself but I was definitely one of those moms that just kind of "there, there" patted my baby and then handed her to my husband. Doesn't make me or any other woman who feels this way a bad mom it just means we're tired! I've also run marathons and races -- sometimes you feel euphoria when it's over, sometimes you lay on the ground and tell everyone to leave you alone (haha!).
Why am I here.... I’m not pregnant and I’m 15 🧍🏻
I’ve been searching high and low for info on how to breath when actively pushing, is it like on tv the “hoo hoo hee” sort of breathing? Thank you in advance to anyone who can help!
I’m not even pregnant.... why am I here?
Im not even a woman why am i here?
Because it’s informative and she’s a great teacher🥰 I’m a teenager and probably 6-7 years away from having kids, I just enjoy her content
Maybe y'all have a calling to do her line of work?? 😇
By the time you do get pregnant, you’ll know so much! Lol
😂🤣 Hard facts!!
I’m not even pregnant and I’m trying to prepare for labor. 😅
I had my second baby on the side of the road, on the way to the hospital, obviously it wasn't planned, but it was the best birth experience i have had. And it was a lot quicker! No complications. He was ready to come out ha ha
Oh my gosh! What a story to tell!
I've said many times throughout my pregnancy that I wouldn't mind delivering in the car lol
(that way the doctor's can't try to intervene too much)
We live like a mile from our hospital so I don't see that happening haha. What a cool story that must be to tell though!
I had my second at home on accident and unassisted (my husband delivered the baby) and it was an awesome experience! Everyone thinks it sounds horrible and so scary but it was so great!
@@svcrain this is why I plan to have most my labor at home so doctors can't intervene much. I rather listen to my body cos it knows what to do
I had my last at home unassisted and caught her myself in the living room 😅
She was ready when she was ready. Was out about half hour after my water broke. Was standing and didn't even push she came out on her own with contractions and was crying before her shoulders were out ☺
I remember I was 7 cm and I told the nurses I needed to poop , they didn't believe me and they checked me and I was fully dialated and had my daughter
Same exact thing happened to me
It’s annoying when some nurses treat every pregnancy the same
I'm due in 11 days. Despite this being my 6th child with 5 successful vaginal births behind me and only one epidural, and three born at home, I was finding myself exceptionally anxious this time around about birth, and not even fully understanding why. After two days of watching many of your videos I feel much more prepared and I am even feeling excitement, which had been missing from my plethora of emotions. Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge, and with such positivity and candidness. You have helped me immensely.
How was the birth after 5 babies???
So interesting how people's bodies experience things differently! I just delivered unmedicated, and I had super bad back labor, but didn't experience contractions in the front or the ring of fire. But man, was that back pain crazy! Really really intense, but not at all what I thought labor would be like.
I definitely subscribed, I’m a first time mom and I’m TERRIFIED of giving birth 😫 I meet my babygirl December 28th 🥰💖
I'm the 29th🥴
28th is my bday
I’m 19th this month 🥰
Sarah C 🥰🥰 I hope you have a safe and healthy delivery! Congrats ❤️
Pressy Garcia thank you gorgeous! You too mama 🥰💕
I’m stumbling upon your videos now, and they’re so healing to me. I just delivered my second daughter a couple days ago and it was a scary fast labor (contractions started at 1:11am, arrived at the hospital at 2:10am at 5cm, 2:20am was 10cm, 2:28am baby was delivered) and my baby girl was sunny side up so the back labor was incredibly intense. It was so fast and delivering naturally was unplanned, it was quite a traumatic experience for me because I never had a moment to stop and process what was happening. Your videos have been such a blessing in helping me process what I experienced and put knowledge behind the images and memories I have from my birth.
I birthed my last at home unplanned - just with partner and 111 call taker. I remember holding my own perenium as I pushed (was on all fours) so I wouldn’t tear. Biggest baby at 8lbs 4 but by far the easiest :)
I wish I could hear this story in person! You're amazing!
How much does perineal massage for a few weeks help with tearing or the ring of fire, in your experience? I'm trying anything to help prevent a tear at this point.
